I'm a week out and I am surviving off Protein shakes, sugar free popsicles, Water, and crystal lite. I don't want anything puréed. The look of puréed food discuss me. I will just wait to soft foods and I could have soft foods at 14 days out. 7 days left. I can't wait!

Oh you're so lucky...my Dr. has me on month of puree, then one month of soft food and then I'll feel like I've been freed from diet jail...lol..not meaning I'm just gonna eat whatever but at least I've been trained to all the sugarfree and no fat stuff...just mean I won't have to put do much thought into every single thing I eat...my hospital gave me two stainless steel 2ounce cups that have been a life saver..I've felt full on that when I do eat...good luck to us...I know I must remember to keep my eye on the prize which is my goal weight...lol
Did the 2oz cups help? Is that about how much you're able to eat?

Yes, that's all I can eat at one setting...I'm not over full or hungry...it's hard to wait the 30 minutes to drink and most of the time I don't but I also found some Protein Water that's pretty good...I drink the carnation sugar free chocolate powder with fat free milk and it really taste like chocolate milk...lol

Thanks! I'm trying to find things that will make my life easier after surgery. I have small rocks outside of my house and I'm looking for backless sneakers cause I'm sure I won't be able to tie my shoes right after and I won't be able to walk the rocks in my slippers. I've also been told to get myself a heating pad and a riser for my toilet. Any other suggestions?

Maybe a dumb question...and my doctor doesn't have a difference but what's the different between purée and soft foods? Just curious!

Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

One is put in a blender and one isn't.. some things I just can't but into a blender and eat, it looks gross.. but some things could be fit both stages like mashed potatoes and stuff like that...

My dr. told me no heating pad bc the heat on the fresh incisions could cause them to become infected...so I used gel ice packs for the first three days almost all day while awake...it helped so much..it seemed anything I ate or drank at that time caused my stomach to hurt...I'm 7 days out as of today and I haven't felt better, hurts to bend over, so I bend my knees to pick up stuff...I drove for the first time in a week, went shopping for four hours...made sure to take a Protein shake and water...I was definitely pooped and ready to chill...

It was explained to me that purée is no thicker than the consistency of applesauce and soft is what you can smash with a fork. I can't do scrambled eggs till soft foods. I want an egg so bad.

You can purée your scrambled egg.... don't think I can hack that, unless I added mayo or ranch maybe have it kinda taste like egg salad

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
